Well, that's what C-c does, it sends signal number 2 aka INT aka
interrupt to the pppd process which then dutifully quits. Exactly as
documented too.

If reconnecting helps then you could add the persist option for ppp and
send SIGHUP to it (guessing Linux, that'd be killall -HUP pppd) which
will cause pppd to restart the connection.

Your modem is presumably cellular so that sticking issue may be due to
the modem itself or the cellular network. For example, the network might
prioritize voice calls. Not much you can do from your end in other
words except reconnect.
